It’s nice to know that there are really formidable hikes in Israel. Hikes that take you to otherworldly places, the stuff of fairy tales.
Duration: Half Day
Ein Prat Nature Reserve
We sat there enjoying the peace and broken silence that can be found only while sitting on a river. Colorful birds swooped between the canyon walls. And the waterfall a few feet away sent a gentle mist into the air.
Fields of Red in the Ruhama Badlands
It was still early in the morning. And the light that filtered through the soft clouds rested gently on a field of tightly closed, red anemones. In between were soft pillows of yellow and bright pops of purple. We had arrived.
Rare Beauty – Nahal Tavor in the Galilee
It’s not unusual to find a river in the stones here in Israel. Or green and hilly fields of wildflowers. But the combination of these two elements in such a striking way turned Nahal Tavor into a secret paradise, tucked away from the crowds.
Park Adulam – A Long Walk to the Middle of Nowhere
It was hard to believe that only an hour earlier, we were in an isolated paradise of blossoms and sun. That day, I definitely escaped from my eternal winter.
